Is it possible to add a body to the game without a sprite using Arcade Physics?

[Legomite]

I'm trying to put an arcade physics body unto the game, but without a sprite. Is that possible?

Why not just make a sprite with no texture?

I didn't know that's possible. If it lacks a texture, would it cost less performance than one with a texture?

@Legomite Theoretically it should cost less since it wouldn't have to render it.

var mySprite = game.add.sprite(0,0);

mySprite.width = 100;

mySprite.height = 100;

game.physics.arcade.enable(mySprite);

//in the render function use debug to see it

game.debug.body(mySprite);

From the top of my head, might not be accurate.

You could also use a sprite and set alpha to 0 but that might be bad performance wise.

Did you even bother to search for this question beforehand?

A sprite always has a texture. If you omit `key` it gets the default texture, 1 × 1 transparent.
